All Our Databases

Reliable labour market data worldwide

At WageIndicator, we build and maintain some of the world’s largest labour market databases covering wages, working conditions and labour rights across the globe. Behind every dataset is a person making a decision; about pay, hiring, compliance, policy or career direction. And informed decisions start with better information. If you are searching for Minimum Wage data, Living Wage estimates, Salary comparisons, Labour Law, Pension databases or Collective Bargaining Agreements, globally comparable, yet locally applicable and in your own language. They’re all interconnected and you’ll find them here.

Overview of all our databases

WageIndicator maintains global databases on wages, labour law, collective agreements and pensions. Our independently researched and regularly updated data supports transparent and comparable labour market information worldwide.

Minimum Wage Database

Want to know what the Minimum Wage is in your own country? Need to compare Minimum Wage rates across countries? Track policy changes? Monitor compliance? Our Minimum Wage database covers 216 countries and territories and brings together current and historical statutory rates by country, and where relevant region, occupation or sector. Clear. Comparable. Continuously updated. For people, employees, employers, researchers, journalists and governments, it’s a reference point in a fast-changing policy landscape.

Living Wages, Living Income and Living Tariff Database

A legal Minimum Wage does not always equal a decent life. Our Living Wage and Living Income estimates calculate what workers and families actually need to cover everyday essentials. We have Living Wage estimates for 184 countries. We also provide Living Tariffs estimates to support the discussion on a pay floor for self-employed, gig workers and others that don’t earn a ‘wage’, increasingly vital for organisations navigating sustainability and human rights due diligence requirements.

Wages and Salaries by Occupation

How does retail pay compare across regions? Are wages keeping pace with inflation? Our wages and salaries database covers 78 countries and provides detailed pay data by occupation, and location; helping employers benchmark responsibly and workers understand their market value.

Jobs, Skills and Occupations

Labour markets are constantly changing. Our jobs and skills data highlights occupational classifications, emerging skills and workforce trends, supporting education and skilling institutions, workforce planners, job seekers and policymakers.

Labour Law Made Accessible

Labour law is often complex and difficult to navigate. We translate it into clear, structured information covering working hours, leave entitlements, dismissal rules, contract types and employment protections and much more across jurisdictions. So whether you are an employee, self-employed, HR professional, trade union representative or employee, you can understand your rights and responsibilities.

Collective Bargaining Agreements

Our global database of Collective Bargaining Agreements (CBA) in 76 countries gives you access to collective agreements at sector, place of work or national level, helping employees, employers, unions and policymakers negotiate with clear information and support constructive social dialogue or future bargaining. Our database covers topics on working time, wages and pay scales, leaves and overtime, AI and machine learning, training and (re)skilling and over 1.000 other indicators.

Pension database

WageIndicator is working on developing a Living Pension for 185 countries. The concept is currently under development and scheduled to be released in November 2026 together with a pension database for as many countries as possible. The Living Pension concept will be related to the Living Wage, Living Income and Living Tariff concepts. Stay tuned, more will follow soon!
